Here's one head scratching dept.
When I want to play a video any extension I get "Loading of player part 'XinePart' failed." Clicking details gets me this "All Audio Drivers failed to initialize!"
Now I've got the Kaffeine 0.8.5 its from the packman repository installed thru yast. The other codecs xine liquicktime all of these are also from packman.
When I was advised to go to Settings>xine engine parameters go to decoder a file I should have is gone! here's what I was told to expect:

For the external.real_codecs_path = /opt/real/RealPlayer/plugins

For the external.win32_codecs_path = /usr/lib/win32 or you can use /usr/lib/codecs

Here's what I got:

/usr/lib/win32

/usr/lib/codecs

In my case the /opt/real/RealPlayer/plugins
is missing! I did a uninstall-reinstall of realplayer it was from the Suse 10.2 non-oss repos. Is there another place to get Realplayer that will install into /opt or another file I can put in there that will alleviate this error?
